[PERFORM] Recommended File System Configuration

[James Thornton]

Back in 2001, there was a lengthy thread on the PG Hackers list about PG 
and journaling file systems 
(http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2001-05/msg00017.php), but 
there was no decisive conclusion regarding what FS to use. At the time 
the fly in the XFS ointment was that deletes were slow, but this was 
improved with XFS 1.1.

I think a journaling a FS is needed for PG data since large DBs could 
take hours to recover on a non-journaling FS, but what about WAL files?
